Thread: Merging recovery.conf into PostgreSQL.conf -- where did this go?
Hackers, One patch that got deferred from 9.4 was the merger of recovery.conf and postgresql.conf, due to conflicts with ALTER SYSTEM SET. However, this is still a critical TODO, because recovery.conf is still an ongoing major management problem for PostgreSQL DBAs. So, what happened to this? I kinda expected it to get committed right after we opened 9.5. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

AFAICT, this CommitFest entry is the latest on the subject, right? https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=1293 Should/may I move it to the next Open fest? -- Alex

I think before that it needs actual work - no point in adding it to the CF until progress has been made.
